Description
This part codes for the enzyme stilbene synthase (STS). Stilbene synthase is the third and last enzyme in the stilbene synthesis pathway which derrives from the universal polyphenol biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the formation of resveratrol, using the substrates coumaryl-CoA and malonyl-CoA.[1]

Notes
We chose to work with an eukaryote STS from an organism which has previously been shown to function in Escherichia coli.
